Question 1

really small bumps on my small palate?

Accepted Answer

Minor salivary gland: These small bumps are most likely minor salivary glands that may have become a bit inflamed. As long as they are not painful, don't grow larger, and go away then you should be fine. If they persist have the area looked at by your dentist or an oral surgeon.

Question 2

i have this bump on hard palate near back..what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Hard bump palate: Without looking at your mouth it could be a lot of things. If in the middle of the roof of your mouth, it could be a palatal torus--a boney protuberace on the suture line of the palatine shelves.  Best to check with your local dentist and have a complete exam.

Question 3

what to do if i have 2 small bumps on my soft palate, what is it?

Accepted Answer

Bumps: What you do is easy.   Pick up the phone and call your dentist for an examination.  Probably nothing, but your dentist will have to see you to be able to do a diagnosis.  Please call now.

Question 4

i have a lump in my palate. it started 3m ago as a small bump and started growing. color is the same as the palate. shape cilinder. doesnt hurt.

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: It is hard to say, sight unseen what this growth might be. It may be as simple as a torus (bony exostosis), an infection, or another type of lesion. You did not mention if the lump was soft or hard, or if you smoke, or the condition of your teeth. That's why it needs to be visualized locally. Call a dentist for an appointment.

Question 5

bump on hard palate near back..could it be cancer?

Accepted Answer

It can be..or not..: Please make sure you see the dentist for a  thorough  history taking and evaluation. While many of those bumps are natural variation of bone growth ( called palatial tori) ,  there are still some pathologic lesions and growths in these areas that can be dangerous and cancerous. Please have it checked.

Question 6

what causes burning sensation on the soft palate along with tiny bumps?

Accepted Answer

Office visit needed: There are many possibilities and any attempt to diagnose it over the internet without even being able to see what it looks like would be senseless and not helpful to you in any way.  I suggest that you see your physician who can actually examine you and give you an accurate diagnosis.

Question 7

what can cause a painful what pimple like bump on the soft palate in a 6year old?

Accepted Answer

Needs to be seen: A number of things. The important thing is to know what it is and not what it could be. I suggest that you have him\her seen by a pediatrician or pedodontist asap for an accurate diagnosis.

Question 8

hello. i have a hard red bump and redness around it, slightly painful on my hard palate. i did eat something hot on saturday. what coukd it be?

Accepted Answer

Palate burn: It sounds like you burned the roof of your mouth, and now it is blistered and inflamed. Ibuprofen and a cool icey beverage may help with symptoms. Most burns or mouth ulcers take 7-14 days to heal and can be quite painful. Sometimes doctors write a "magic mouthwash" with topical viscous lidocaine, prednisolone, etc to help with symptoms. See an ENT or primary doctor if symptoms persist.

Question 9

when i shine a light at my soft palate i see a bunch of tiny tinyyy bumps and one of them hurts after i ate and turned into pimple. what is that?

Accepted Answer

Salivary glands: You probably bumped or scraped one of them and it became inflamed and swollen. It should go away on its own. Do not go poking at it. Can happen when eating things like chips , crusty bread, and crackers. Good Luck.
